Sawed, Dug, Dragged and Chipped

Hearty volunteers sawed, dug, dragged buckthorn and other invasive species from the river bank along Riverside Road on October 22, 2011 clearing another large swatch of the bank. More than 14 yards were chipped and hauled away (14 yards is a LOT of chippings!).

Please be sure to join us for the final workday of the season on Saturday, November 12 from 9-12 at the triangle by Scottswood and Millbridge.
